Quick overview Guinness’s St James’s Gate Brewery is synonymous with the city and people of Dublin. From the company’s modest beginnings in 1759 to its heyday in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries – and the current exciting plans for a major redevelopment of the site and further expansion of the brewing plant in the home-place of the Guinness family in County Kildare – Guinness has had an enormous impact on the city’s economic, social and cultural life.

In THE GOODNESS OF GUINNESS, Tony Corcoran examines the working lives of the generations of Dubliners who depended on Guinness for their livelihood. The company’s far-sighted treatment of its staff – in terms of health, training and housing – is revealed in detail, as is the Guinness family’s philanthropy and compassion towards the less-well-off residents of the city.

There are numerous photographs spanning the generations – including some which have never been published before.

Above all, the book is full of Guinness lore, humour and insight: it is a window into one of Ireland’s most important and best-loved institutions.
